10 Spring 2013 Dates & Deadlines, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Examination & grade schedules FINAL EXAMINATION SCHEDULE To find when the final exam for each of your classes is scheduled, do the following: 1. Determine the beginning time for each of your courses using the following guidelines: Use the lecture, seminar, or colloquium beginning time for your class rather than the lab or discussion times. Each range of beginning times (e.g., 8:00 8:59 a.m., 9:00 9:59 a.m.) is subdivided into MWF and TTh exam times. Use MWF if your course meets for more than three days per week or if it meets on unusual days. For example, classes that meet MWThF or TWTh or TF would all follow the MWF exam time. If your class meets at different times on different days, use the day earliest in the week. A class meeting 9:05 11:00 a.m. T, 8:00 8:50 a.m. Th, for example, would follow the 9:00 9:59 a.m. TTh exam time. 2. Read across to find the time and day for your final examination using the beginning time for the class. 3. Check the list of common exams to see if any of your classes are listed there. Common examination times always take precedence over the final exam schedule. 4. Ask your instructor to confirm your exam time and SPRING 2013 FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE length. Some classes may have a three-hour exam. Instructors may, with college approval in a very limited number of circumstances, request a change in exam time. See the Final Exam Regulations for information on how to respond to conflicts in your exam schedule. NOTE: Classes that start between 4:00 5:59 p.m. will have the final exam beginning at the usual class starting time during finals week. The exam will extend for two hours from the starting time. If a class meets multiple days during the term, the exam will be on the earliest day of the week during finals week. Classes beginning at 6:00 p.m. or later will have the final exam from 6:30 8:30 p.m. on the day of the week the class normally meets. If the class meets multiple days of the week during the term, the exam will be scheduled on the earliest class meeting day during finals week. Classes meeting on Saturday or Sunday will have the final exam beginning at the usual starting time during finals week on the day it normally meets. The exam will extend for 2 hours from the starting time. These final examination schedules do not apply to online and Distance Learning classes or classes offered primarily to students registered in the colleges of Dentistry, Pharmacy, and Veterinary Medicine, Law School, and Medical School, or to or 9000-level courses that have no regularly scheduled class rooms. Always confirm exam times with your professor.
